My $0.02 on the pukinghard work issue. In high school I puked after every interval workout and *every* race. In college I found that the times when I got about about 40 miles a week (which actually wasn't that often) I *never* puked after a race or interval. The difference was that I could recover faster. Puking isn't a function of working hard, most of the time it's a function of being out of shape.
